Cedric Mitchell and AJ McArthur believe they have found a solution to make women’s basketball more exciting: The Bikini Basketball Association. Considering the success that the Lingerie Football League — a 7-on-7 full-contact football league for women in pads and panties — has had since 2009, Mitchell and McArthur decided to bring the same concept to the hardwood.

Tryouts are still in progress for the eight-team league, which will be based in major metro areas around the country: Miami Spice, New York Knockouts, Hollywood Hotties, Orlando Lady Cats, Los Angeles Ice, Chicago Desire, Minnesota Mist and Atlanta Peaches are the official names. The season is slated to start in late spring 2013 with rosters that will feature 14 to 21 players each.
